Governance

The Kerry Street School Council (the Council) is elected annually at our AGM in Term 1, which all members of the school community are encouraged to attend. The Council is made up of elected parents and community members, the Coordinator and a teacher representative. It has the legal responsibility for fulfilling the stated objects of the school. It represents our school community and is responsible for the governance of the school.

In practice, the Council deals primarily with governance, policy, long term planning, budgeting and unresolved grievances. To facilitate the management and administration of the school and the provision of the educational program, the Council appoints a Coordinator and delegates practical responsibility and day to day authority to them. The Council supports and monitors the Coordinator who in turn regularly reports to the Council.
